If you suffer from chronic fatigue in the workplace - you're certainly not alone. In fact chronic fatigue is the Number 1 complaint doctors receive from their patients.

And interestingly enough, for the majority of these cases it's not the amount of sleep that is lacking, but rather the lack of quality sleep.

You see it's all got to do with your sleep cycles or circadian rhythm. In order for you to overcome chronic fatigue, it is absolutely essential that you wake up at the end of the sleep cycle. If you wake up in the middle of a cycle - thanks to your blaring alarm clock, you will feel tired not only in the morning, but throughout the entire day.

Your brain is actually very active during the night because it goes through a number of different processes in order for you to function properly the next day. At the end of the cycle, your brain has finished doing what it has to do. Now if you wake up somewhere in the middle of the cycle, you prevent your brain from finishing the necessary processes.

As a result you are likely to feel tired, irritated, and have trouble concentrating!

Sound familiar?

Now in the perfect world you would not be disturbed by a blaring alarm clock.

As a result, you would never wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle because your brain is programmed to finish each cycle before waking you up.

This is why tiredness and chronic fatigue was virtually non existent hundreds of years ago. (Think caveman times here). You see tiredness and chronic fatigue caused from unfinished sleep cycles - has only reached massive proportions since the invention of the alarm clock. And now it is regarded as a worldwide epidemic!
